Tami Monroe is showcased in this very early release near the beginning of Wicked Pictures. It's a thriller set in a strip club, a genre pioneered in the 1980s by Kat Shea working for Roger Corman, and remains a staple of B-movie formats.
We get to see three complete (and different) striptease routines by Monroe, between which she is hounded by a secret admirer. Instead of violence, the usual feature of this genre, director Michel Craig sticks to sex. Screenwriter Teri Diver, an accomplished director in her own right (see: "Moondance" and "Persona"), has a functional script and also appears in a supporting role.
Interjected as a satisfying if extraneous sex scene is Woody Long having anal-sex with Celeste; notably this is Celeste before she had her nose-job and boob-job.
Identity of the secret admirer is easily guessed by the distinctive (if disguised a bit) voice as he frequently phones Monroe to control her, and though the movie is enjoyable overall it suffers from a nonending, typical of a VHS era where so many features were constructed with a Part 2 in mind.
